i'm chris matthews in new york. let me start tonight by talking about america. the preamble of our constitution addresses two areas of security. one is to provide for the common defense against foreign enemies. the second is to ensure domestic tranquility from violence from within. it is impossible to imagine the congress of the united states ignoring the first of these imperatives. an act of omission that would leave us open to foreign attack and invasion. tragically, we can't say the same about attacks on the country's domestic tranquility. what has the congress done to protect the country? nothing. and here's the question. when will we refuse as citizens to settle for, accept, live with a congress that fails to act in the face of such a demonstrated vulnerability? if not now, after this, when? next week? next month? next year? next what? and if not us, who in this world is going to demand action to protect americans? joining me now is u.s. senator dick durbin of illinois. i want to read something from you which is very impressive, and it's in the op-ed pages

article on "the new york times" front page, "complaints aside, most face lower tax burden than in the reagan '80s." it reports the richest americans, the people of the top on this chart making more than $350,000, were by far the greatest beneficiaries of the tax cuts over the last 30 years. at the bottom the least fortunate, those making less than $25,000, barely saw any tax cut at all. it's interesting to see an objective study here, david, that shows what most people think, which is the top has gotten a really good deal from these tax cuts. >> don't bother us with facts. again and again -- >> it's very timely. >> the president has been arguing for the last two years that the rich can afford to go back to the clinton rates, and we see that with many studies. we see also that when you cut rates at the top, it doesn't always correspond to economic growth. the data is not there to support the right's position, but they believe it as if it's theology. >> let's go to politics we also agree on. i think boehner is playing a dangerous game. boehner says we're not only going to face this fisc
